Just received my Silver 335i, first impressions
Well, my car was dropped off today.
For an opinion and something to read while you wait for your car to come in, I offer my initial impressions, presented in a easy to read list (all this imho of course): A)The 335i is very sturdy, well built feeling, tight ![]() B) Lack of a decent cup holder does annoy me, more than I thought it would, but it is no surprise as I have owned many BMWs,this is the worst (for BMWs) so far as cup holders are concerned,imho ![]() C) Handling is very good, but I expected that ![]() D) After driving the car for a few hours I'm having a hard time getting comfortable because my right leg rest on the center console, just my own personal experience, YMMV ![]() E) Seats are great, very comfy ![]() F) Stereo is okay, not bad for OEM ![]() G) Acceleration is insane, the power is just always there ![]() H) No major blindspots, decent visibility ![]() I) Good room in the backseat, more than I expected (however, it is still a coupe) ![]() J) Bluetooth works well ![]() K) Comfort access is a must as far as I'm concerned ![]() L) Good trunk space ![]() M) Seatbelt presenters work fairly well, but as mentioned in other post, do seem a bit flimsy. When they delivered my car today, there was an extra "Arm" or presenter sitting in the passenger's seat, an omen perhaps? ![]() I'm sure I left somethings out, but thats all I can think of at the moment. BTW, my car's temp runs around 240 degrees (today's outside temp was a great 80degrees). I was fairly gentle with it. Anywhos, I'll post some pictures tomorrow.

Maybe. I can't speak for anything scion, but I will say that 240 oil temp is high. My E30 M3 runs at 190-200 oil temp depending on how I drive it. The only time I saw anything close to 240 was at the track after a 45 min session and it was 107 outside. I am starting to wonder if 5-30 is enough for a 335. Maybe we should start using the TWS 10-60 that the M cars get....

I would ban cup holders in BMW's!.... you have one of the finest cars in the world, with fine leather and you want to risk spilling coffee/coke all over it! Cup holders are only required in rental cars! Respect... |
